weight

Post navigation

Hello. It’s time to post again. I am happy to say that even though my weight is the same this week, I have lost in inches!!

waist-1″

hips-1/4″

belly-1 and 1/2″

I have been tracking my calories on SPARKPEOPLE.COM. Also, I have been drinking 8 cups of water/day. I know there could have been a weight loss if I had exercised consistently. I have joined a team that is beginning a 10 lb. weight loss challenge for the month of March.

This morning I worked out on the treadmill before work. For 30 minutes I burn 186+ calories on the treadmill. I walk for the duration of one song and run during the next song, etc. I plan on making morning workouts routine. I also have strength training scheduled for today. Strength training for me is Wednesday and Friday. I work out on my Total Gym. It’s great.

The name of my site has not been relating to the past entries that have been posted lately. I believe I have lost sight of my goal. OK, how bad do I want to lose this weight?

Well, I really want to lose the belly fat. And I want to fit into my jeans with plenty of room to spare. I love jeans. Jeans are supposed to be comfortable. I would love to be fit as a cheerleader, too.

I was just thinking. I would love to get involved in a competitive sport. I would like to be part of a team. That would be great. I guess I’m too old for that. But, I am young at heart. I love friendly competition.

I have joined SPARKPEOPLE to use their nutrition information. It has really helped in letting me see where my problems are. I love sweets, eat too late, and eat the wrong foods. I haven’t done too well on there. I’m thinking of starting over again to be competitive on a SPARKTEAM. I need something to spur me on!!!!!

OK, here’s to a new start!!! I plan to post more on my progress from now on. My steps are moving forward and the journey will be posted!!!!

There is something I have been thinking about during the last few days. My current method to lose weight is not working for me. Marking down every indulgence is only causing me to focus more on food. Starting now, I’m going to try to begin writing down my ACTIVITIES that elevate me to fitness.

Please understand, I am being watchful of what I eat. I am now deleting my food indulgence pages. Instead, there will be a new page listing activities, exercises, etc. that I have done each day.

There has been a change in FOCUS on my pages today–from food to fitness. I want my body to reflect that change day by day, until the goal has been reached.

What am I going to do? It looks like I’m stuck to the computer! I stayed on the computer a lot yesterday checking out how many points I consumed. I’ve never totaled points before. I went to http://ronisweigh.com/ronis-resources/wwp-calculators. I used the WWP Calculator from there. I used up 29 points in one day! I checked to see how many points I have to go by: 18! No wonder I can’t lose any weight.

Madison also inspired me yesterday when I checked out her progress page( http://followmyweigh.com/progress/). I made my own chart on my word processor. I started at 142 and went by 1 lb. increments until I got to 125. That is 17 lbs! I’m trying to be more lenient by just trying to lose 1 lb. each week(that’s 17 weeks!). The situation is looking like Mt. Everest to me right now. I have been stuck on 140-142 lbs. since blogging. Does anybody have any advice? I’m working on the best game plan. What do you think about the weight-watchers plan? I really want to lose this weight.
